Cut & Paste- Ilya, yeah man

cut and paste, a touring digital design competition. yesterday it was in SF and Ilya was fortunate to be invited by coroflot.com to compete in this city's final in 3d modeling. proud of him... he was competing among guys who had years of experience over him in a range of 3d programs. ilya, he just learned last year. sick. he works hard. very inspiring. i'm sure he's getting into Pratt.
the atmosphere of this competition was intense. over 500 people in attendance, competing live on stage. 3d modelers, you have 20 mins to design something in your 3d program and we'll give you a theme. damn.
although ilya didnt win, props are due. reebok, give this boy an internship.
oh and thanks to mia's cousin lauren (and thanks mia) for hooking up entrance.

the winning 2D piece. time given to complete: 15 mins. What?!

keanu reeves does 3D modeling too. kinda cocky this guy. he ends up winning.

my boy blue!

today at the valen's residence... sophia. her life is tough.
